The only thing that made me leave the game months ago (Before summer) was the lack of players, but now that has been resolved, and I have subbed again. The one thing that still isn't sitting right with me is chat bubbles, seriously why we do not have those in yet, surely it doesn't take a whole team to work on those?

And what exactly are you doing to make these better forums? All people like you do is moan and moan, no matter what, for once, just once, why not try help make this a better community? Ah right, because it is a lot of hard work to be be constructive and positive, while shout "DOOM" and "ITS CRAP" it is easier.... so who is really being lazy here for not making an effort, BW or you?

I am conflicted now about this choice. I made and played both characters a good while, and I see more potential in the RP for the smuggler, however, I already have a fully healer specced consular, and I would like to go full DPS with this new character, but I have been repeatedly told that I won't find any groups if I do that, and only if I have super-uber PvE equipment that I will have a chance to be taken in by groups. I find this rather sad, because I cannot play what I want, I have to play what the server wants, because if I do not, I get kicked and pushed aside, and now I am thinking to just go with Jedi guardian, at least tanks are sought after I would think.

Yup seen than, but I thought I am not really "shy" so I was a bit uncertain weather or not to join up with them, maybe I could tour and see what's it like. Last I left a Jedi Consular at level 48 I think, but I wanted to either try a smuggler or a Jedi knight next, I will level them all the way out of the starting planets, then make a decision on which of the 2 to go for and let you know By the way, I was quite happy to see the planets alive with people again, I hope it will last this time!

Hello everyone, I took a break for a few months from SWTOR, been playing other games and mmos, but then I felt a bit nostalgic with this game in general, I kind of missed the story progression, the art style and the sci-fi visuals, never been much of a SW fan or the autocombat system, but I rather play this than any other fantasy generic mmo right now. One main reason that made me leave in the past was the lack of me connecting to anyone on this server, in other mmos, I always managed to eventually make a few friends I would play/RP with, but here it felt all very close and exclusive, and people would turn their nose up at you if you did not belong to a guild or went to the right planets to RP. So, bottom line, the reason I stay in an mmo is for the people I meet, and play with, and if I am to stay here, I need to remedy to that, so your suggestions are welcomed, and please, suggest something other than "Join a guild", because in my days among "normal" people that wasn't necessary to make friends, although if you have the name of a good guild I will look it up too.

Dude, I studied Latin 10 years ago plus I am Italian, which is 95% similar to Latin , not used any google. Anyhow, if you read what I said, it wasn't that I agreed on 1 update a year, I said, that technically "Regular" is a pretty free word, and it can mean, every hour, every day, or month, even years... unless they say "Every month regularly". So nobody lied on anything. Period.

Pretty sure the word "regular" comes from latin "Regola" which stands for "Rule", and as a rule, they only need to update this "systematically", and it does not mean often.

Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback. I just do not want to drown in a sea of skills I will never use, I prefer when I have more limited choices, but each choice matter. I think the BH is a bit harder to play than other classes I have played so far, but I hope it will get better later

Well actually I did write it all in my post even if it wasn't the most clear

I stole my ship last night, that is how far I am, but so far is millions times better than Jedi Consular (IMO). JC just bore the force out of me. I am now forceless....

Hello everyone, my first class was a Jedi Consular as a healer, it was easy to enough to manage, I had half of my skills dedicated to healing, with obvious effect, and the other half to damage, simple. With the BH, I have picked the Tank/DPS role (I am now about level 16), and I have to say, I am very confused, is this class really spread out compared to the rest? I do not understand which skill should be used in which situation nor if the primary attack is useful anymore after you picked your specialization (For instance it becomes useless with the Consular). I have played DPS in other mmos, but I was never as confused as I am with the BH. Do I use flame weapons constantly? To I use Missiles instead? How can I tackle the quick heating problem that takes ages to come down while you are in combat? I do apologize as I do not remember the skill names, but here is a brief explanation on how I play it so far: So, if I do tackle with a group, I shoot the missile that builds up until it explodes at the toughest enemy in the group, damaging the others. After, I spam the basic missiles and basic shooting attack until they come close enough, at which point, if they are still together I flame them with the cone, or if there is only 1 I attack him with the melee punch, then spam the small flame until I overheat, at which point I just spam the basic attack until my heat goes down again. I occasionally use the beam weapon (The one when you can use only once activated by an enemy hit). But I feel weaker then my Consular which was completely specced for healing, so what am I doing wrong? Again, I apologies if I sound a bit dumb and the explanation is a bit messy.

Great expectations and hyping games is what kills mmos in the first place. If you are going for a job interview you do not tell your friends you are going to get a job, you tell them nothing, and if you get it, great, if not, keep looking, but at least you did not disappoint yourself or them. This goes for all "miracle solver" patched, and mmos which supposedly should take over (Remember people saying that about AoC, then WAr, Rift, then SWTOR, and now Tera?). Do not think about it, do not hype it, just wait, if you like it, good! if not, then at least we will not have to suffer the whiners "I told you so" comments here.

How can anyone pick on THAT, and not say anything about the lack of handguards? What stops 1 guy with a lgihtsaber from clashing it with his adversary, and then running it all the way down to the opponent's fingers? Nothing, there is no guard. A certain type of Japanese swords lack of hand guards, but that's because they are not used like light sabers, but with a fighting style of "hit and run" without that hollywood nonsense about 2 guys locking sword and looking into eachother's eyes.

Not trying to antagonize anybody here, but I would not call SW a fantastic IP, maybe back in 70's, by today standards it has deteriorated quite a lot. When I watch SW, I feel like watching the muppets show with lightsabers in it, and the story has some beautful metaphors, but the scripted dialogues, are very poor, "I keel you, rawr, I am a funny alien!!" it is purely a nostalgic value nowadays. Ironically the new advert on TV with Yoda is actually much better animated and life-like than any other special effect int he whole saga.

I wish I could put all the whine posts about having too much money and the whine posts about not having enough money all together, and magically having them even themselves out.
